Hi folks, today I have a special request: I need some tips about virtualizing OpenCL workloads #1 workload (70% of the time): multiple "mini"-clusters for provisioning and failure tests; software development / cross-compiling with GNU/Linux distro ; and all day regular usage for office/int...

@RobhG Some questions... Do you working commercially on CGI content? If "yes": Do you have some kind of (external/separate) support (person/company) for you Octane2/Tezro or setup? So do you have then enough spare parts (HW) just in case you have some unplanned downtimes/dropping-outs? I s...

@RobhG The HW shouldn't be the starting point for your decision, even if it seems you prefer SGI (IRIX) workstations. I recommend to look at what you want to achieve (result of you work). Then take a look at the software options (vendors, applications) with there individual feature spectrum and requ...

Contacted Mr Deering... He's got a list of the graphics projects he's worked on, pretty impressive Indeed, really impressive! :) (...) This and the version for EISA bus, the MG-3D , in theory also usable in an Indigo 2 workstation with dedicated Matrox X11 servers,(...) typo: board set with name de...

Contacted Mr Deering. From his point of view or what he remembered the GS aka cgtwelve aka CG12 was NEVER EVER a product developed by Sun but rather by Matrox. Sun contributed only two ASICs (EIC External SBus Interface Ctrl and another on the upper framebuffer PCB as well as drivers and implementat...

Concerning in depth documentation about the SPARCstation 2: As expacted, until now didn't find the desired documents. But a drop of bitternet instead: I will scramble some source trees available in WWW for free. They are really helpful for to understand the HW from a programmatic point of view. That...

Congratulations! Thanks also for the pictures. Have fun with this configuration. Optional try to find the " V880 z " frontend covers for a more "authentic look". What kind of application made use of the XVR-4000? All applications which make use of OpenGL because there are special...

Don't own any SGI at the moment but at least my Sun-4/75 and PCD-4H, both with Solaris 2.4. Because both are located in different cities, I power on the available machine once a week. I had to reinstall Solaris on my PCD-4H because got problems after patching without backups. I have to find the stum...
